A Peruvian comedy show is facing backlash after featuring a segment with actors who appeared in blackface, mocking Jada and Will Smith. The show, which caused outrage when photos first circulated on Instagram, also shows the actors with exaggerated facial features.

The images were first seen on the Instagram page of Peruvian comedian Carlitos Vilchez but have since been deleted. Still, social media users sparked a discussion about Black people facing racism in the Latin community.

yeah and the latinos laughing it up in the comment section are the same ones who claim there’s no racism in latin america because everyone is “mixed” lol pic.twitter.com/1b636I0I6h
